Strum
D-DU-UDU
When  the dark flood came
we  wrapped ourselves inside a dirty  blanket citing
different  opinions on whether  we should move
when  the houses came
they  ate up everyone like they  were fishes saying,
"come  on, come on  its the end of the world
and  then I saw your face
you're  turning skin into a dirty  secret I watched the
beauties,  watched the fire and the fire  burn the beauty in their
eyes
when  I took the blame
we  layed in ruins trying to quote  your phrase we're yelling,
"someone's  got the answers, but I'd rather  think there's nothing to be
found"
if  you knew I was dying  would it change  you?
If  you knew I was dying  would it change?
if  you knew I was dying  would it change  you?
If  you knew I was dying  would it change  Anything?
 So when you  see me falling backwards down the  wall that says I'm still alive,
 don't be cautious  when I'm cautiously approaching  on the other side
 everybody  has their reasons, that's the reason  we're all going to die
 because if seeing  is believing, then believe  that we have lost our eyes
 when I  fly solo,  I fly so high (X4)
don't  touch me now.
We  all deserve We all  deserve something
